...systems to opening new files from anywhere they choose to be. In the words of former Crimson editor Kevin S. Davis '96, Director of Residential Computing at Harvard, "If your computer starts acting like it's possessed--mouse randomly moving, messages appearing on the screen, CD popping open, that sort of thing--chances are you have a Trojan." In short, if your computer starts acting like Keanu Reaves' in The Matrix, call a User Assistant...
...Bush traveling the country, working the money guys, giving his spiel and sucking up most of the oxygen in the G.O.P.'s big tent. It would not be long before the Postal Service began delivering trays and trays of envelopes to the Virginia offices of the group hired to sort the dollars.

They claim that the constitution means counting every person in the flesh, not some fancy statistical model put together by statisticians and sociologists to imagine people who may not actually exist. And who, if they did really exist, would probably punch a hole for Al Gore...
